FRIAS Fellows Jörn Dengjel, Klaus Aktories, Stefan Eimer, as well as Gian Maria Fimia, Tobias B. Huber and Frank Madeo are organizing a high level conference on Autophagic Membrane Trafficking and Dynamics in Aging and Disease, on January 29-31, 2016.

The workshop will focus on discussing new findings related to deregulation of autophagic membrane trafficking and dynamics in ageing and disease.

The idea is to bring together cell/molecular biological as well as technical experts to address questions related to the regulation of autophagy, its crosstalk with the ubiquitin-proteasome system, and its analysis using new experimental approaches.

The meeting venue site is located directly in the Black Forest area only five minutes away from a ski resort. The cozy Hotel Saigerhoeh (http://www.saigerhoeh.de), in the typical design of the region, will host the meeting, which is dedicated to exciting science, intensive discussions and free time for interactions and enjoying the extraordinary black forest area.
